WW1 Air Warfare

a dogfight.

it started because of the Germans invaded the France people it always mattered if they were in there territory something would happen to them

Dirigibles are lighter-than-air aircraft that can be maneuvered by their own power. There are different kinds of dirigibles, such as blimps and airships, but all are distinguished from other lighter-than-air craft, such as balloons, which do not have their own steering and power sources.

It's called a dogfight.

They were taking turns on who would fly the aircraft. I'm not sure when the began this or how they selected to be first. But they test flew their glider the year before and made several attempts on their powered airplane before their success.

Anthony Fokker was an Dutch aircraft designer.

He is most well known for the aircraft he designed for the Germans during WW1.

Among his most well known airplanes was the Fokker Eindecker, Fokker Triplane

This website has a lot of information on Fokker

http://www.dutch-aviation.nl/index5/index5-0.html As a single invention, what was best known was his interrupter which allowed firing a machine gun through the rotating propeller. This stopped the firing action in time with the position of the propeller blade so that bullets were fired only when the blade was out of the way. Allied aircraft failed to catch up with this piece of technology and many were fitted with bullet deflectors attached to the propeller which reduced its performance and could deflect individual rounds in unpredictable and occasionally dangerous directions. Also sorry to say that the Eindecker (one decker) was the Fokker monoplane. The Triplane was the Tridecker. (Dozens of references on the web.)

The rules, laws and standards of International Travel in the 19th century were vastly different to how International Travel is handled in the 21st or 20th century. Prior to 1910; many immigrants, traders and a variety of people from a multitude of social classes and standings took a variety of routes from Europe to Canada because no official or transferable record was taken in Canada.

Travelers and traders could then travel to the United States undocumented to trade and/or settle. Some of these shipping routes were bootlegged by captains and crew (much like how a quarterback calls an audible to change a play on the field) and others were common routes many ships followed.

Navigation lacked modern technology, so based on current, wind and clouds blocking the stars; identical routes were virtuously impossible to syndicate. There were general plans for voyages and compasses to ensure a basic itinerary but to specifically pinpoint the coordinates of a route would lack accuracy.

In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Mr. Baumer refers to the dehumanizing experience and existential crisis faced by the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, who transforms into a giant insect. The "thing" symbolizes Gregor's loss of identity, agency, and connection to his family and society, reflecting broader themes of alienation and the absurdity of existence. It underscores the struggle between one's internal reality and external perceptions, ultimately questioning what it means to be human.

He flew a number of aircraft, each painted slightly different. The actual shade of red is a subject of discussion among aviation fans. The red identified from surviving bits of canvas from some of his airplanes are:

Methuen 10F8 DIAMINE BROWN

Methuen 9/10 C8 and 9/10 E8 CLARET BROWN/MADDER BROWN

They are a deep claret red, almost a wine colour. A scarlet red is often used on models, but it doesn't seem to be the correct colour. Most sources seem just say "red".

If you use google images and type in Methuen 10F8 Diamine brown, you will get a good colour swatch.

This is a very odd question. 1918 was part of the same war that started in 1914. If the war was still going in 1918, that meant no peace was achieved and neither side was able to beat the other side.

Warfare continually evolves and at the time of WWI developments had made the defensive much more powerful than the offensive. Defenders with machine guns, rapid firing, bolt action rifles with magazines holding several rounds of ammunition, and rapid firing artillery - which for the first time in a large war no longer had to be a "line of sight" weapon (meaning artillerymen did not have to be able to see what they were shooting at) all gave great power to the defense. This defensive power was multiplied when the defenders were dug in to prepared defensive lines. Since both sides had these weapons, and both sides were dug in, neither side found it easy to attack successfully and break through the enemy line. Even on the rare occasions when a breakthrough was achieved, exploitation of that breach in the enemy line often proved impossible other than for very moderate local gains. This was because the troops achieving the breakthrough would be exhausted and hungry, their ranks severely thinned by losses in the attack. All food, all water, all resupply of ammunition, all reinforcements had to be brought forward over the shell blasted and cratered no-man's-land, over the remains of barbed wire entanglements and the multiple huge ditches of trenches criss-crossing the battlefield for miles, all pulled by horses which found this terrain impossible to traverse at anything other than a crawl.
